Cherry blossoms in bloom at The Heritage, Kohima

COVID-19 might have restricted humans to their homes but it has no control over nature. Cherry blossoms in bloom at The Heritage, Kohima on November 26. Cherry blossoms (Prunus cerasoides) are considered a ‘Gift from the Himalayas.’ The buds start to show around late October and the full bloom begins in the early half of the November, painting the hills in many parts of the state in hues of pink.
